Where they stand – financial services policies of the major and minor parties

With so much political noise following the federal election and uncertainty about the influence of independents and the minor parties, we’ve summarised the key financial services policies of political parties and independents who have won (or seem likely to win) parliamentary seats, to help you and your clients make informed decisions. Our comparison covers everything from taxation, superannuation, innovation and a Royal Commission into financial services. Take a look – you might be surprised!
